We are a fire/rescue organization comprised 100% of volunteers (unpaid) that predominantly responds to fires, vehicle accidents, hazardous conditions and emergency medicals. We provide an incredible atmosphere with state-of-the-art apparatus and equipment.

The Maybrook Volunteer Fire Department is actively seeking new members to join the ranks. We are comprised of active members from teenagers to seniors. While the most majority of active members are young, members of all ages are welcome. Our department does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, national origin, age, or sex and opportunities within the organization are equally available to everyone meeting established criteria.

Once all the minimum training requirements and competencies are met, a firefighter, EMT or CFR will be expected to perform the complete range of duties expected at a variety of incidents. Active members respond to calls for assistance with saving lives and property. Firefighting, EMS & rescue work involves exposure to physical exertion, extreme heat, hazardous atmospheres and conditions, heights, the potential risk of injury in performing duties or handling equipment. In addition visual/mental exposure to a variety of potentially dramatic and disturbing scenes in performing duties at the fire, rescue, and medical incidents which could involve exposure to blood, dismemberment, and death. Anyone considering becoming a firefighter should evaluate they're own physical and mental limitations and give serious consideration to the personal risk involved and, if necessary, discuss any concerns with a member of the membership committee prior to submitting a membership application.

Firefighting, EMS (including rescue work) can be spontaneously physically demanding to cover short or prolonged periods. While there currently is no required physical or agility test to become or remain a Firefighter or EMT, those participating at fire/rescue scenes, training exercises, drills, and performing other non-emergency duties, should be physically fit to the degree that they are able to perform the tasks necessary to accomplish the demands without creating a considerable life safety burden to themselves, fellow members or the public to which we serve.

Anyone considering being a member should read this page in its entirety, must be 16 years old or older and stop by the firehouse located at 204 Wallace Avenue (The firehouse sits off the road from State Route 208 on Volunteer Place) to speak to any member to discuss potential membership and to obtain an application or download the membership application from this site [Requires Adobe Reader for PDF File] complete it and bring it with you, and get the membership process started.

Be part of a progressive emergency agency in the region. Training is provided and many great benefits of being a member. All of us at the Maybrook Fire Department are looking forward to meeting with you and working side by side with you in the near future.
